Make Your Own Herbal Tea

Making herbal tea is actually very basic and to get started their are just a few items and resources you need. Here they are:

Tea Recipes - Our tea recipes will give you the basics on how to make a variety (over 110 kinds!!) of single herb infused teas. This is a free resource, so take advantage of this.

Wholesale Herbs - This is our supplier of all our herbs for our various herbal teas. The best quality and they are available in bulk. Herbal tea for pennies a cup!

Empty Tea Bags - these are so cute, little fillable tea bags for your homemade herbal teas. Just pennies each, these are a nice touch

Herbal Tea Recipe Book - A must have resource for those who wish to blend their own teas. These are all of my top herbal tea recipes that sell really well. There are over 80 tea recipes with multiple herbs in the book.

Once you have all the items above, there is just one rule to making herbal tea at home. (It is a loose rule, more like a guide or rule of thumb).

One Teaspoon of Herb for each cup of tea.

It is that simple. You may want to play with this a bit, but as a general rule, this is how you make your own herbal tea.

Steeping times vary for the different herbs, but generally 4 minutes is minimum.

Packaging Your Tea

If you are going to sell your tea (which is an awesome idea!!). There are two things that I have found to be successful. The first is the individual tea bags that you can make your tea in. The resource for purchasing these is above, and the other top seller is storing the tea in clear glass jars. Herbal tea looks so pretty in a small glass jar, and you can attach the recipe to to the jar with raffia or print the recipe right on the label (using your home computer).

If you are going to store the herbal tea you have made in a glass jar, a cool dark cupboard is best. If the herbal tea is exposed to the sunlight, the herbs will lose their color and taste.

Another nice touch is to put some fabric over the top of the jar, (just a square of fabric) and tie it with ribbon. It is really a nice touch and you can use fabrics that are associated with what you are selling or giving away.
